Synthetic silicone paste on rubber or dielectric grease could be used to refit a hard connection, let it sit overnight so the chemicals do their...

    Is an odd fire dist cap different?

    Petronix system you have to set the gap from the trigger to the distributor lobe at installation. Since your shop did install i would check to see it is secure and properly fitted.

    Is an odd fire dist cap different?

    The problems occurred after the shop put hands in it. Good quantity of auto shops are parts changers with no clue how cars work and could care less? A testdrive is would be part of this type service visit. They shouldve caught that before delivery.

    Body tag id

    it looks like to me that both tags look to be vintage. the tag on the right has the newer rivets you get at the hardware store for general purpose. whoever replaced the rivets just didn't care if they were the correct rivets for this purpose. tag could've been falling off, as i see on the left...

    I have heard of cracked blocks from too much oil in the block's bolt holes prior to installation. A straight edge on the block will show if the block needs to be decked. Otherwise new set of heads could crack with a warped mating surface. The front of the block can be resurfaced too. they remove...

    455 engine hook color

    I don't know the answer but think about the purpose. If it is red, it will move that forward in your view, and the rubber coating probably for stability when moving engine. You could investigate the color if it wipes off easily with solvent it probably came out of a spray can. If it is resistant...
